Not sure how many of you have herd about this story but take a look here.
A teenage schoolgirl was arrested by police for racism after refusing to sit with a group of Asian students because some of them did not speak English.
She was 14 years old and was having to translate for one of the students who spoke a little English but could not understand everything the teacher was saying.
She felt she was getting behind and asked the teacher if she could move, the teacher got upset and had the little girl arrested.
Is this what our teachers are teaching our kids?
I’m glad mine go to private school.
I found out today that we have two more weeks and the power company will be through with this area.
Guess I will be back full time in about two weeks.
Google takes control of W3C and explains to them how they must run their website.
They are no longer allowed to link out without the use of a “index, nofollow” meta-tag applied – blocking the links from search engines.
I wonder how many people will stop buying links from W3C?
Google says to build your sites for visitors not search engines, but aren’t tags like, rel=nofollow, and noindex specifically for search engines?
What use do they serve a visitor? None..
But Google needs, and in may cases demands, that if you want to be in the index you need to use these tags..
This was a post on a forum by Feydakin and I agree with him 100%.
It seems Google has taken over the Internet and now wants to tell us how we should build our websites both for them and our visitors.
I guess when Google says to build our sites for visitors and not the search engines they only want us to listen when it benefits them.
Not us or our visitors.
